Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) Reviews

Nutanix Acropolis AOS is easy to use and there are no hardware limitations.

You need to send commands through the command-line interface(CLI). This could be improved. The commands are done better in VMware.

Nutanix has a complex infrastructure, we have customers that consider VMware instead. Additionally, the performance could be better.

In an upcoming release, it would be a benefit to have live updates.

I have been using Nutanix Acropolis AOS for approximately three years.

The stability of Nutanix Acropolis AOS is good. It has high availability.

The solution can scale well.

The installation is simple.

I would rate the initial setup a four out of five.

In the future, I would like to see multi-tenancy in Nutanix Acropolis AOS.

I have used Nutanix Acropolis AOS for approximately six years.

The scalability is very easy. You plug in another node and that's it.

The support provided for Nutanix Acropolis AOS is very good. They know the products well, if you have any error on a cluster or any problem with workloads on Nutanix, the engineer's support is great.

The initial setup was very simple. You only need to deploy the clusters and Nutanix configures all the clusters. In one day we were in production. When comparing the process to the VMware solution, it is less complex.

The solution could be a little less expensive.

If you want to run Nutanix on Windows, you have to pay for a license and if you want to have an Oracle Database, you have to pay a license for Oracle.

With the simplicity of the deployment and the one-click operations over the cluster, Nutanix Acropolis AOS is a good solution. You have to have cloud experience.

I rate Nutanix Acropolis AOS a ten out of ten.

My major use case is the Nutanix distributed file system based on the NDFS file system, which allows customers to consolidate and reposition.

The most valuable features are the user-friendly dashboard and that we don't need to move resources manually when adding new nodes into running clusters.

In the future, I would like Acropolis to add support for publishing external storage.

Acropolis is pretty stable - it works perfectly within the production environment.

This solution is scalable - I can go up to a 64 node cluster from a 3 node cluster. In one organization, I configured around 316 nodes, distributed across file locations, the biggest implementation even in Asia-Pacific.

The setup was straightforward, taking between 15 days and a month.

I would rate this solution eight out of ten.

One of the main features of the solution is that it works on many hypervisors. It is a big advantage. Additionally, the solution is compatible with VMware and Hyper-V, and the management interface, which is called Prism, is very intuitive and user-friendly.

The solution upgrades very easily with the one-click upgrade feature. There are no hassles, it can upgrade the firmware and all the software. The management is very easy.

One disadvantage of Nutanix Acropolis AOS is it doesn't support external storage. Connecting external SAN storage to Nutanix, it's not supported.

I have been using Nutanix Acropolis AOS for approximately three years.

The solution is easy to install.

The price of the solution could improve. Nutanix has recently changed its pricing model from perpetual to subscription. They have identified there are challenges with the pricing model.

The technical support we have as part of the package we purchased.

If that a customer wants hypervisors flexibility, simplicity, scalability, and a price advantage over VMware, Nutanix is a good choice that they should consider.

I rate Nutanix Acropolis AOS an eight out of ten.

The primary use case for Nutanix Acropolis AOS is as a platform with storage options for customers who are in need of such solutions.

My primary use case for this solution

We have had good feedback from our customers about this solution.

Areas for improvement would be the memory setting and the CPU setting reserve features, which are not available on Acropolis. I also feel that the DR solution, the reporting, and the component that is combined with the Nutanix OSP need to be improved.

I have been working with this product for a year and a half.

I find this solution to be stable.

The scalability of this solution is fine.

The technical support is good.

I previously used VMware, but we switched to Acropolis as it is more cost-effective.

The initial setup was simple.

Acropolis is a good choice for those who want to go with a complete infrastructure. I would give this solution a score of eight out of ten.
